Well, for those who are following this one, I'm about seventy pages into The Devil Served Tortellini, which I picked up in Murder One on Saturday at Cassie's signing. It is a stunning artistic tour de force and I predict it will some day be a GCSE set text. I'm thinking of throwing it open to the public. £5 a viewing. No children. No dogs. kay_taylor, folk you are both welcome to borrow when I am done, but please ignore the chocolatey smudges; I felt that if I was going to read modern romance I ought to do it in the bath with a lot of Lindt.

I picked up City of Ashes too so as not to feel left out.

The Divali lights have gone up along the lampposts on the main road. They are very carefully 'vendor agnostic' decorations, mainly candles and the like, that will be easily converted to Christmas lights after a few weeks. It's also Eid tomorrow, so we're all set for the fireworks, and it will be easy to get a seat in the local curry joints after sundown.

Murder One - it's been years since I was in Murder One, not since they moved and got rid of the SF section. Maybe we'll get there once again when Alex can be trusted not to gleefully pull every book of the shelf that he likes the cover of as soon as our backs are turned (he does really like books-the first time I took him into our local children's library he ran around excitedly, giggling and clutching books to himself).

You mean it's now a romance novel with LICKABLE PAGES?

JOY ABOUNDING! Sign me up!

...I think this may be the best idea ever.

(Mmm...tastes of...tortellini!)

Ewww. I don't want a book that tastes of PASTA.

If Alex could only attach some cat hair for the full-on "mad cat lady reading romance novel" experience, we could declare it an interactive art project and get ££££ from the EU. Profit!
